poor, peasant woman accepts a marriage of convenience but continues to
accept other lovers, even having children by two of them. When another man

unit is threatened. This appealing comedy-drama is based on a true story and
features a wonderful lead performance by Regina Case, who won Best Actress
honors at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival. Portuguese with English
subtitles. 107 minutes.
